#METBALL 2014: Charles James – Beyond Fashion

Tonight, 5^th May 2014, world’s most extravagant fashion – Met Ball will be the first at the newly reopened Anna Wintour Costume Centre.

This year’s theme is “Charles James: Beyond Fashion” - a retrospective of the 20th-century British-born, American-based couturier.

Everyone is looking forward to red carpet moments of their favourite style stars so I thought to share mine because they never disappoint. Top on my list is the unfailing Sarah Jessica Parker, followed by Rooney Mara {she definitely grunge and weird so cool}, then there’s Iman, Katy Perry, Beyonce, Madonna. New comers I’m looking forward to include; Lupita Nyong’o, Allison Williams and maybe Mandy Kaling. Meanwhile, I’ll take to Instagram for the #BRC {before red carpet}.

Here is Guardian’s feature on Charles James

Some of Charles James' designs below the cut.

T for TOM FORD: Tiaras, Trenches, Totes & Topless Girls for A/W '13

I always say Tom Ford doesn't do soft and slow, he goes in hard! *excuse my french*. It's either you go full or not at all ...there's no coming easy for Tom.

I literally screamed when I saw the release for the A/W campaign, the pants...dreamy! The totes with heavy zips and fur...redeeming! The blunt heels...vulgar! The trench coats and track suits...edgy! The glasses...sexily nerdy! 

Do I need mention the patterned gowns? Frankly, no real words here, just love.

Love to my 'daddy' who remains my fearless lover *in my head*

Having said all these words, which do not quite do justice, I shall return to my dreams and perhaps one day I'll be able to own some Tom Ford.

What's more sexy than beautiful ladies in sexy tiara's and striped peep-toe heels? *swoon*

Glam Chic! Lanvin S/S '13 Campaign

For its Spring/Summer 2013 campaign, Alber Elbaz decided not to use well known faces, rather he included few newbies.young, up and coming models like  Christian Garcia, Michael Lange and Kristoffer Hasslevall.

Photographed by Steven Meisel still, the campaign also features top models like Karlie Kloss, Daria Strokous, and Saskia de Brauw, I enjoy the glam calmness(which is just the signature style of Lanvin)  portrayed through the entire campaign.

The environs of Polo Club Ikoyi for those three days gave high energy fun to everyone that cared...and those men on the horses? Whao! They were exceptionally hot and thrilling to watch.
